Abstract
Purpose of Review
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect of numerous chemotherapy drugs. CIPN negatively impacts function and quality of life during and after treatment. We will provide a review of the data describing the physical consequences of CIPN and discuss the possible long term impact on emotional well-being and quality of life.
Recent Findings
CIPN negatively affects physical function and many aspects of quality of life. Exercise interventions are likely to reduce the risk of falls associated with CIPN.
Summary
There remains a need for evidence-based interventions focused on improving symptoms, function, and quality of life in persons with CIPN.
